Rxc3 winning the rook on b1. Fairly straight forward.
If Qxc3 then Rh1 with mate to follow?
Are you sure about that? I think I'll have to post a follow-up puzzle.
I think after Qxc3 both Bxc4+ and Rh1 are satisfactory ways to mate, and are both mates in 2 if white doesn't want to waste a couple moves throwing away material
hi, correct me if i am wrong,
Nh2+ !!!
Yeah, you seem to be right there.
Thanks for sharing the puzzle. I enjoyed it.
At a closer look maybe not. The answer will of course be Kxf2. What would be blacks next move? I was thinking Rd2 (that's why I thought you were right) but you cannot do that since whites bishop is covering that square.
Qh1 wins too
...as does Bxe2
